No 104, LIS Working papers from LIS Cross-National Data Center in Luxembourg

Abstract: The author uses LIS data to test, on an individual level, Esping-Andersens hypothesis that the three political strategies he conceived in The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism (1990) furnish homogenous old-age decommodification levels. He finds not only that the levels of decommodification are more heterogeneous than the thesis suggests but also that some systems generate inequality by providing higher levels of decommodification to some cultural groups.
